Hello everyone,
I was used to kmail, my favourite email client since it was a tiny application outside of kontact. Then I get used to the whole suite, with emails, address book and calendar being those used on a day by day basis.
However, since 10 years, I'm using the gmail and, most in general, google suite for everything about PIM.
I'm thinking to switch back to kontact and kmail, because life is simply shorter than you want to spend outside a so beautiful product.
What is preventing me to come back then? I'm using different computers, at least two regularly, and therefore the first thing that comes into my mind is that I have to replicate all the settings on all the machines, meaning that I'm going to have at least my emails offline cloned on every machine and, most notably, all the settings.
Then I've a few doubts about the gmail labelling: since labels are exposed as imap folders, how is kmail managing google labels? I mean, is there a way to manage labels between kmail and gmail in an efficient way? Because, as you can imagine, I will continue to get my emails also by other mobile devices too, where the gmail client is probably the only way to read emails.
Filtering is another problem to me: I've a lot of filters that set labels, I suspect centralizing the filters on the gmail side could reduce the amount of work to do on each machine (because messages are going to be moved automatically to folders).
Similar considerations about the calendar, since I use several of them with different notifications, colors, and settings.
Last: any way to get address book in sync with the gmail address book?

Apparently I was not able to find a good answer to the above on the internet, so I'm interested in user experiences and, if anybody has links to tutorial that can help, Id love to read them.

Thanks.
